Jet drop and draft risk in a mixing ventilation office : experimental and numerical investigations

This paper is a presentation of a theoretical and experimental analysis of supply air jet flow patterns in a mixing ventilation system. Investigation procedure aims at reducing draft risks.

The effect of enclosure size on the air velocity distribution in axisymmetric jets

The paper presents the results of experimental tests : the enclosure size and background turbulence in the surroundings of the jet have an influence on the air velocity distribution in axisymmetric jets

A comparison between four different ventilation systems

Measurements and CFD simulations are compared for 4 different ventilation systems using the air change index and a new ventilation parameter. It is shown the advantage of impinging jets

Thermal comfort assessments of indoor environments by means of CFD

The paper deals with the CFD analysis performed for a family house residence, which is in the design phase : the aim was to test several concepts for heating ( floor heating, floor convectors, both systems) in terms of thermal comfort.

Macroscopic airflow analysis and the conservation of kinetic energy

This paper deals with an approach to a multizone airflow analysis that can account for mechanical energy conservation. It is shown that the resistance (dissipation) provided by zones in a multizone analysis should not be ignored.

Predicting volatile organic compounds concentration in residential buildings (Part 1 : building of model)

This paper presents a universal but simple mathematic model very useful to predict Volatile Organic Concentration in the bulk air for different conditions in residential buildings.

Use of predictive ventilation to evaluate the emission rates of pollutant sources in an enclosure and to reconstruct the associated concentration field

This paper presents a numerical method aiming at recreating the concentration field of a pollutant at each point of a ventilated enclosure that contains one or several pollutant sources of unknown emission rate.

Numerical analysis of normalized concentrations in the occupied zone for various office ventilation systems.

Flow, temperature field and contaminant concentration distributions are analyzed using CFD for 5 different ventilation systems.

Numerical modelling of particle dispersion within a displacement ventilation system

This paper deals with a 3D numerical study to assess the effectiveness of a displacement ventilation system to remove particulate pollutants, generated in the occupied zone of a room.

Influence of cooling strategies on the air flow pattern in an office with mixing ventilation

In this study, an office with mixing ventilation is considered. The CFD analyses show that for high cooling loads it is useful to couple a cold ceiling to primary air system
